High-speed video solves complex processes

Monday 21. September 2020 - A single high-speed video application can accurately detect the cause of faults within short-term complex events. The resulting solvable optimisation of processes in research, development and production automation can save considerable costs and development time.

The new Phantom T1340 high-speed camera is the first of the new T series and opens up completely new possibilities for process optimisation. It combines outstanding features in resolution, recording speed, simplified workflow, and all this in the smallest possible space. At only 12.5 x 12.5 x 20 cm, the 4-Mpx high-speed camera is the most compact in its performance class. The robustly built camera with aluminium housing and integrated memory is shock resistant up to 30G. It offers many advantages in mobile use, in confined spaces and in harsh environments.
With a resolution of 2048 x 1952, an impressive 3,270 fps can be achieved. By activating the binning mode, light sensitivity and frame rate are increased, so that, for example, an impressive 12,130 fps can be recorded at a resolution of 1024 x 976. By further reducing the resolution, up to 113,514 frames per second can be achieved. The high light sensitivity ISO up to 12,000 in mono mode and up to 4,000 in colour mode with 12-bit image resolution enables high detection capability even in shadowed areas. In particular, the camera guarantees a flexible and efficient workflow.
Special features are:
– The CineMag V memory (up to 8 TB) for safe and very fast storage process
– Optional 10 GB Ethernet, very fast download speed
– On Camera Controls (OCC)
– SDI and HDMI inputs for live monitoring and playback
The extremely fast and large 144 GB RAM also allows longer recording times. This memory can be divided into up to 64 partitions (as ring memory) for recurring events. The image-based auto-trigger is of particular advantage.
In addition to the purely visual evaluation of the images and videos, the analysis software also offers many important measuring functions, including synchronisation with external controls, measurements of time, position, distance, speed, angle and angular velocity.
